Biography

Publications ||  || I read for my PhD at the University of Colombo School of Computing, on the use of 'mLearning in agriculture'. My basic degree is in Agriculture, specialized in Agriculture Extension, from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. I obtained my M.Phil from the University of Peradeniya 2010. The title of my thesis was 'Evaluation of computer based learning materials in agriculture information dissemination'.

Most of my research work so far directed on 'how to educate the farming community on latest agricultural best practices, as well on how to strengthen their existing knowledge bases by facilitating effective information exchange mechanisms'. This explains why I am after IT, e-learning and specially mobile technology enhanced learning.

I was a freelance journalist at Vidusara (1997-99) and always had a passion for reading and writing. ||
